Could a simple checklist make hospital discharge safer and more satisfying for surgery patients?
NCT ID NCT07713147
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a patient safety checklist (PASC) helps adults recovering from major surgery feel more satisfied with their discharge education and reduces communication problems with healthcare staff. About 264 participants will either use the checklist from the day surgery is scheduled until discharge or receive standard care. The goal is to see if a simple tool can improve how well patients understand their recovery plan and feel heard.
